(some items for discussion)
Once the DØ detector, trigger commissioning
offline reconstruction of physics objects are
complete there will still be much to do to
optimize the physics analyses. This talk is
intended to stimulate discussion and draws on
some lessons from Run I. It is aimed at
identifying some of the areas where work is
needed for Electroweak studies and Searches
probably unimpeded by knowledge on my part of
details of recent work in the Physics Groups.
- Top quark
- Vector Bosons
- Higgs
- Supersymmetry
- Some issues to be considered for optimizing Run
II analyses flagged throughout the talk

angles from the tt.

3Top quark mass
- In Run I, top mass was extracted from l
jets, - l l 2 b-jets (and internally, all jets).
- In most cases, the method is to
- Choose a kinematic distribution that varies
as mt changes - Monte Carlo set of templates with various top
masses, and the backgrounds included - Likelihood fit for best Mt.
- (Many choices of kinematic distribution.)
- Illustration for l jets Use distribution of
fitted top mass. Have 6 final state objects
thus in zero mass approximation, 18 kinematic
quantities needed. Measure 3-momentum of 4 jets
and one lepton 2 components of ET. Constraints
from equal t and t masses, and (qq), (l n) must
have W mass, so have 20 known quantities ? 2C
fit. - BUT Did not in general identify the b-jets
(only for b?mX in Run I), so have 12 ways to
assign the jets to partons (6 if there is a
b-tag).
Initial state radiation can give extra jets
this should be absorbed into the state X. Final
state radiation from top or jets these should
be combined with the parent jet.
true mass
METHOD Perform a 2C fit for all associations
of the 4 leading jets to the tt hypothesis
choose the smallest c2 solution. Call the best
fit mass the fitted mass. Do the same for
(Herwig) MC events with a family of known true
top mass and get template distributions of fitted
mass for each true mass.

4Lepton jets analysis
Select l, n, jets with high ET (gt 20 GeV)
- Form topological variables for signal/bknd
discrimination - missing transverse energy
- HT SET(jets 2 to N) scalar transverse
energy for non-leading jets. Large for top
events due to large parent top mass, small for
dijets. - A (aplanarity) smallest eigenvalue of
momentum tensor large for top events as the top
quarks tend to give isotropic decays QCD jet
backgrounds have parent 2-jet topology - Dr minimum jet angular separation

6Dilepton channel analysis
For the dilepton channel, there are two missing
neutrinos, so the fit is underconstrained by one.
DØ employed two methods Neutrino weighting
(nWT) and matrix element weighting (MWT). For
nWT, we assign a weight based on how much of the
nn phase space for signal is consistent with the
event kinematics, computed for a set of Mt
values. For MWT, compute a weight based on the
probability to have the lepton energies as
observed, and the product of PDFs required, for a
set of Mt values. After smearing many times with
the known resolution functions, and summing over
combinations, each event has a weight
distribution as a function of Mt
For the MWT analysis, weight distributions for
the 6 observed events
The weight distributions for all events are
averaged, and compared to MC templates for a
known input top mass. A best likelihood fit
gives the top mass.

Other Run I methods
1. For l jet evts, assume set of Mts and do
3C fit at each. Form pseudolikelihood
L e-c2(fit)/2 Fit L for maximum. Get
Mt 176.0 7.9 4.8 GeV
2. Fit pT(b), pT(lepton), HT ( sum of object
ETs) etc. These have lower statistical
precision due to less dependence on Mt.
3. Use tt production matrix
elements in forming weights (looks promising)

8Top mass in Run 2
- It will certainly be a different optimization
- With x20 data (Run 2a), or x200 (Run 2b),
statistical errors get small thus systematics
become more important. - Much improved b-tagging (SVX) mean fewer
combinatorics (though b vs. b is hard!), and
much improved Signal/Bknd (e.g. double tagging) - Many more overlaid minimum bias events at high
L . - Large improvement in MC capability (GRID farms
around the world)
Look at the Run I systematic errors breakdown
Systematic errors dileptons Jet

Bknd model 1.1 Multiple Intns 1.3
MC statistics 0.3 Likelihood

How do we improve these?

9Jet scale error
Jet energy scale (dominant error for l jets).
Error 2.5 0.5 GeV obtained from ET balance
in g jets events, taken from difference in
balance for data and MC. Check by ET balance in
Z(ee)jets events.
- Jet scale error statistically limited in Run I,
but there are systematic issues that will arise - jet widths
- min bias contributions to jet scale
- MC correction closure
- b-jet corrections ( light quarks)
- out of cone partons
- Are there alternatives that minimize the jet
scale error? - Is the dilepton channel better than l jets?
(only 2 jets, so reduced jet scale effect) - Ratio of W/top mass in tt events, then scale
with accurate MW (partly cancel jet scale
error?) - Use variables less sensitive to jet scale (QCD
radiation-proof variables) but with larger
statistical error? (e.g. pT(lepton) for both l
jet and l l ) - Can one do better with kT (JADE-like) jet
definition? (force right jets?) - Energy flow algorithm? (CFT for charged
particles, CAL for neutral) - Neural net/H matrix to correct n loss from
b-jets?
9
10MC generators
In Run I, HERWIG was the primary signal
generator. Error is set by study of top mass
variation as fn. of (x non b/W jets in 1st
4), (y jets 4), (z extra FSR jets).
Also used FSR-suppressed HERWIG. PDF variation
is negligible. VECBOS used for Wjets background.
Vary Q2 scale from jet ltpTgt2 to MW2. Vary
VECBOS to alter hW . But HERWIG, VECBOS are
not full NLO, and could have other features
- We need improved generators
- Implement new NLO top generators including
interference of ISR/FSR (Orr, Stirling). These
generators need interface to full fragmentation. - Extend Wjets NLO to W4 jets? (DYRAD does W1
jet). Add flavor accountability to VECBOS.
Seek non-MC methods for Wjets (is Behrends
scaling more accurate reliable? Verify
theoretically at NLO?)
Likelihood fits
Likelihood curves are not parabolic error
depends on pts used, and on parametrization of
L fn.
- Get more rigorous definition of fitting
procedure.
10
11Other issues for top studies
- Min bias event overlaps Run I added 0.7 MC
min. bias events on top, adding to Cal. energy.
For Run 2, this up to 4-5. Good minbias MC
modelling becomes crucial. Go to use of real
minbias events taken at same luminosities for MC
overlay (is now available, but needs work).
- Top mass definition Fitted mass (pole mass) is
uncertain at level of 0.5 GeV due to
non-perturbative renormalon effects. Can DØ
help/test these effects ??
- Cross section Run 1 made 30 measurement,
limited by jet scale background generator
(20). If this improves, can use s(tt) as test
of NNLO gluon resummed QCD! What precision for
stt? Can this become a useful and meaningful
test of resummed QCD? (Note that accurate s(tt)
is needed for some Higgs backgrounds.)
- Mass measurements Can use of tt matrix
elements improve the constrained fit? Explore
the pseudolikelihood mass measurement (lower
syst. error in Run 1)
11
12Other issues for top studies
- Spin correlations Top decays before
hadronization Run 1 made crude measurement of tt
spin correlation l l direction correlations.
How to make this QCD test most incisive? Get
spin correlations into generators.
- Top EW measurements Single top production via
W exchange are sensitive to Vtb , GTOT . Can one
discover the single top production and then
refine the selection of single top to enhance the
precision of these EW parameters?
- FCNC and anomalous form factors what
sensitivity for t ? Zc / g c to limit anomalous
top couplings?
- Tau decays t BRs are sensitive to admixture
of t ? H b with H ? t n . How much
improvement on H mass limits?

Three (correlated) variables are sensitive to the
W mass Electron pT , Missing ET (neutrino),
Transverse mass mT mT 2pT(e) pT(n)
1 cos(f(e) - f(n)) mT is insensitive to the W
production dynamics (corrections O(pTW/MW)2 )
but requires the inferred neutrino pT, hence is
sensitive to detector response. pT(e) and
pT(n) Jacobian edges depend on pT(W). pT(e)
depends only on well measured electron
kinematics pT(n) also depends on hadronic
response
mT and pT(e) distributions as generated and pT(W)
0 (solid line) correct pT(W) (red points) and
after detector resolution effects (yellow

Method Fast MC to include W production, decay
and full detector modelling. Make templates of
mT , pT(e), pT(n), for set of MW values and find
best fit.

14Detector response modelling
The detector response functions for electrons,
recoil energy, radiative photons, etc. are mostly
determined from data distributions.
- Electron response Emeas aEtrue d taken
from Z?ee and precision LEP Z mass - Electron resolution s/E c s/ E n/E
taken from fit to Z lineshape - Electron directions chamber and calorimeter
position calibration from muons and Z?ee - Hadronic response require pT balance of ee-
from Z and the hadronic recoil - Hadronic resolution shape of pT(X)
distributions along/perpendicular to Z?ee - Trigger efficiencies measured with special data
sets - Energy corrections to pT(e) and UT for hadronic
energy falling into electron window - Correct selection bias for UT close to pe (loss
of events due to energy isolation cut) - Radiative decays (W? eng) taken from theory and
modelled in MC - Effect of extra minimum bias events underlying
the W production taken from special inclusive
triggers overlay these events at the same
luminosity as for signal events - Backgrounds (mainly from QCD jets misidentified
as electrons at 10-4 level) taken from special
data sets by selecting bad electrons. W?tn
? ennn is included in the decay MC
14
15Sample MC fits
The MC, with parameters determined from data, can
be confronted with data to show the validity of
the model. Some examples
Z?ee distributions for central/end and end/end
es showing validity of electron response,
resolution and background determinations
ratio of data h distribution to that of MC (an
important constraint on the PDF)
recoil energy along electron direction
recoil transverse energy
15
16Mass fits
- The W mass is obtained by comparing MC templates
with various assumed MW to the data, and
performing a likelihood fit. This example shows
the mT distribution fit for end electrons. - (similar fits for pT(e) and pT(n) distributions )
- A variety of cross checks are performed
- consistency of mT, pTe, pTn fits
- vary fit region in both mass and h
- bin results as a function of time, thus L
- vary the recoil pT cut
- fit for the Z mass using transverse mass
- compare result from two end calorimeters
- compare for different electron impact position
- compare for different EM energy fractions

17Combined DØ W mass fits
Systematic errors arising from uncertainty in
detector or theory parameters are computed the
parameter errors are themselves correlated in
some cases, and when the same data sets are
employed, are correlated because of the data set.
The simultaneous measurement of MW for central
and end electrons is important in reducing the
theoretical error due to uncertainty in the PDF.
New measurement uses electrons aimed near
edge of central calorimeter modules (14 gain in
statistics for W). This measurement helps
primarily by constraining response parameter for
non-edge electrons. The full correlation
matrix is determined, yielding these W mass
values

18Combined World results
Combining with the CDF result, Tevatron MW

(per experiment) about the same as Tevatron.

now good agreement between LEP and Tevatron LEP

Mt, MW give strong constraint on the Higgs boson

Indirect prediction (red ellipse) from the
precision LEP/SLC/nN measurements in reasonable
agreement (lt than 2s), but with the new higher
MW, there is a weak hint of the effect of new
physics. Supersymmetry would provide new
particles whose virtual effects would predict
higher MW.
The indirect MW indication from Z, n, top
measurements is 80.373 0. 023 GeV, nearly 2s
from the measured value.

- most errors are stats limited

- overlaid min bias affects recoil resolution will
become worse - need both end and central es to control pdf

20Questions for Run 2 W mass
The very first Run 2 W transverse mass plot !
- Minimum bias overlay Can one improve with
algorithm that seeks to measure underlying energy
from other vertices in the same/neighboring
events for each event? (recall that the DØ
calorimeter samples several crossings. Run 2b
may have digital filter to tag energy per cell
from adjacent crossings. Use modification of
energy flow algorithm to tag collisions at other
z in same event?)
- Which distribution? In presence of extra min.
bias evnts, is pT(e) the distribution of choice?
- The W muon decay is less useful than electron
(dp)m 2.5 GeV (dE)e 1 GeV at W peak, so
expect (dMW)m 2 x (dMW)e . Nevertheless, the
W? mn channel should be used
- Muons How will one best cross-calibrate the
muon momentum and electron energy scales? What
subsidiary measurements are needed to understand
the effects of dead material, radiative effects,
etc.
- Muonic Zs Can Z ? mm events be used for
establishing hadronic recoil parameters (even if
Z ? mm resolution not so good)? (Double Z
statistics)
20
21Questions for Run 2 W mass
- W pT Is there a (different) optimum cut on
pT(W) that will minimize the combination of
statistical and W production model error?
- Radiation With a solenoid, radiated photons no
longer overlap with the electron so well what
errors for the radiative corrections and how best
to establish them?
- New methods Internal Run 1 analysis used ratio
of W and Z transverse mass and scale to LEP Z
mass (thus is limited by Z statistics). This
cancels many effects due to electron, underlying
event response/ resolution. Remaining systematic
errors from small differences in W/Z production
distributions. How far can this measurement be
taken?
- Combined channels At present, detector
parameters (e.g. had. response) are determined in
subsidiary data sets and used to generate
separate mT, pT(e), pT(n) distributions. Can
the fact that the underlying MW is the same for a
given event in each of the distributions, can one
add a constraint in the parameter determinations?
(Like the constraint that the unknown t and t
masses are equal.)
21
22Higgs search
- The canon
- (a) SM Higgs now constrained to lt 200 GeV
- (b) maybe LEP sighted it at 115 GeV
- (c) Tevatron constraints from top/W will tighten
indirect indication by x2-3. - (d) Tevatron can discover/see evidence up to 180
GeV before LHC. - At masses below 135 GeV, use W/Z (H)
production. l n (bb), l l (bb),
nn (bb), qq (bb) , and l
n (tt) (??), qq (tt) (??) channels all can
contribute.
expected run 2 precision
- Above 135 GeV, H ? WW dominates can use
gluon fusion production.
22
23General Higgs search questions
- For some channels (Z(nn)H(bb), Z(tt)H(bb),
Z(qq)H(tt) and Z?bb), triggering is an issue,
even with STT detached vertex trigger. The Run
2a trigger should have t trigger capability using
isolated high pT track triggers. The Run 2b
trigger upgrade envisions correlating CFT and CAL
information to further aid in t triggering.
The Z?nn H?bb dijet opening angle and missing
ET correlations differ from QCD dijet events.
Run 2b trigger improvements to CAL trigger to
allow topological analysis of energy towers, and
finer CFT/CAL correlation could improve t and ET
triggers at L1.
dijet opening angle (in trk
sectors)
- Triggering Study trigger rejections possible
with CFT/CAL correlations, and topological
triggers using CAL. Refine the triggers for Z?
nn / tt H?bb, and Z? qq H? tt.
opening angle missing ET
correlation
23
24General Higgs search questions
- The H?WW analysis simulation is at present
based on series of simple cuts on kinematic
quantities and is not optimized. There is no
mass peak left after cuts, so the analysis is a
counting experiment.
- H?WW Pursue a multivariate analysis for the
H?WW channel to improve its sensitivity. Seek
variables that survive after cuts that carry mass
information.
- There may be a substantial diffractive
production of Higgs, leading to two diffractive
protons and a gap in rapidity to the di-b
jets. Trigger on leading protons and rapidity
gaps. Can one discover Higgs this way?
- Diffractive Higgs Sort out the theory of
diffractive Higgs production simulations needed
to see if this is a useful channel and to find
trigger efficiency.
24
25Issues for Higgs search
Higgs will not be a precision business in Run 2 !
The Run 2 Higgs Working Group study has
examined many of the critical issues for refining
the search sensitivity. The two main keys for the
Higgs search are dijet mass resolution, and
b-tag efficiency and purity.
NN algorithm
Eflow algorithm
- 1. Dijet mass resolution issues
- Jet energy resolution is key (angular error is
small) - Separate optimization of b and q/g jet
resolutions - Getting a good sample of Z?bb will be crucial
for studying b-jet optimization.
- Energy flow (Use charged tracks neutrals in
CAL). Optimize this algorithm (using data).
Recent studies show perhaps 25 improvement over
cone alg., (15 over NN alg.) largely due to ICR
region, may be possible.
Effect of corrections to b jet on Higgs mass
resolution
- b-jet resolution Devise multivariate algorithm
to correct b-jet resolution use the
multiplicity, leading track momenta, jet mass,
topology etc. in each event to optimize dE/E
- Z?bb Improve the trigger rejection at L1.
STT is essential at L2 what else? (only 2 jets?
equal ET jets?
25
26Issues for mass resolution, contd
- Effect of initial state radiation (should
ignore) and final state radiation (should combine)
FSR only
ISR only
ISR FSR
- Handling extra jets Can one devise a way to
guess which are ISR and FSR jets? (pT, mass,
angular weighting) Can JADE-like algorithms
forcing event to right jets help?
- Choice of jet algorithm (Higgs WG found little
help from kT algorithm)
- Jet algorithm What is the optimum jet
algorithm. Can kT be better than cone?
(Recent studies suggest it does not!)
- Event pileup Higgs WG 25 deterioration from
overlaid min bias events
- Event pileup Can one learn to recognize energy
due to pileup and subtract? Run 2b CAL trigger
with digital filter could help tag events from
other crossings.
26
27b-tagging for Higgs
Yes, the low mass Higgs search is all about
b-tagging! The full simulation MC b -tag
efficiency mistag rate are improved from the
Higgs WG (parametrized MC).
old Higgs Wkshp parameterized MC
27
28b-tagging for Higgs
High tanb Susy Higgs can emphasize multi-b
events for example bbA production this may
indicate different b-tagging needs (looser?)
- b tag algorithms Using data, work to improve
the b-tag efficiency and decrease the mistag
rates. (A Profound Statement !!)
Run 2 reach in MA vs tanb
- bb event tag Is it possible to improve upon a
simple tight/loose single b-tag, to make a
bb-pair tag based on a single combined goodness
variable? (and by extension a 4b variable for
selecting Susy Higgs events.
28
29Supersymmetry
Run 2 has discovery reach beyond LEP in 25
different channels. Leptons and ET are the key
ingredients. DØ low ET lepton triggering in Run
2 is important addition. Tevatron has good
potential for sighting SUSY in Run 2.
Trilepton final states probe chargino pair
production (Run III Run 2b 15 fb-1).
GMSB gg ET search (c10 ? G g )
- Trigger questions Develop more powerful lepton
triggers. Take the lepton thresholds lower using
CFT/CAL correlations. Design restrictive t
triggers. There is room for new ideas and
simulations.
- Pointing photons GMSB has g decays from NLSP
to LSP gravitino. Develop algorithms for photons
pointing to vertex.
29
30Supersymmetry
Stop searches in several channels
- squark, gluino decays place a premium on
missing ET resolution, control of calorimeter
noise.
- Missing ET How well can missing ET be
incorporated in the trigger. Include ICR
detectors in L1 trigger. Modify thresholds for
summing CAL tower energy into ET to optimize
resolution at L1.
- Kinks Develop the algorithms needed to detect
charged particle kinks associated with c1 ?
c10 p decays (slow p ) characteristic of AMSB.
- Framework Tevatron in Run 1 lacked a solid
phenomenological framework (defined benchmarks)
for interpreting SUSY limits (as LEP had).
These need to be defined for the several types of
SUSY breaking. Also should develop the
methodology for combining DØ and CDF results for
Tevatron averages.
30
31Summary
- Its not all over when the detector is
commissioned ! - New clever ideas are needed to gain more
sensitivity for Run 2 physics studies and
searches - Much work remaining to develop generators and
better control of QCD processes - Great opportunities to develop triggers that
increase sensitivity to t, ET, special
topologies - Develop better algorithms dijet mass,
b-tagging, min bias event tags, etc.
